Pug Friday - Happy Birthday Mr. Jetplane



Today is a day of celebration. Today is Mr. Jetplane's 31st Birthday. I got to Skype with him yesterday evening, which was Friday already in Afghanistan. So in honor of this day, I thought I would let a couple other fellas in our the Pug Friday love... This is an oldie but goodie from our time spent in Pcola. Charlie (believe it or not) was still technically a puppy at this point. These 2 boys love their daddy more than anything in the world.


And come on...what's not to love about this guy? He's a wonderful man and I'm honored to be his wife. He is truly my best friend in the whole, wide world and I'm so grateful that life brought us together. Happy Birthday my love. Fly Safe out there.

Long Weekends are NEVER Long Enough

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. We sure did :)
Mr. Jetplane may have gotten this emailed to him this weekend. These 2 like to send him pictures of themselves all the time. They have quite a lot to say to their daddy. They miss him alot.


I can't believe its July, it felt like it was just Memorial Day weekend. Time is flying by, thankfully. But I do kinda feel like I wishing this summer away. With the husband deployed and not coming for a while, I just want to get the summer over it. Yes, I know it kinda makes me sad too, because I really love the summer time. But the truth of the matter is, the summer just isn't as much fun without Mr. Jetplane.


I went to a great lil BBQ yesterday held by a family in our sister squadron out here. I had a great time, but it made me miss my honey. I happy to see guys getting to enjoy time with their wives and kids, but it makes me soooo jealous. Luckily he did call while I was there. Poor guy sounded exhausted. I miss him terribly, but we're getting thru it.


Don't forget to keep entering my giveaway....the winner is selected on Thursday :)

Giveaway Time

Hello all...I hope you are all enjoying the warmer weather. I'll be honest the heat just made its way out here into the land of potatoes, aka Idaho, aka where we (sorry I) now reside.




Now that summer is officially upon us all and I'm happy to announce a wonderful giveaway. I was honored to be contacted to host a giveaway for Country Crock and the Wounded Warrior Project.




Reflecting its commitment to wounded warriors and their families/caregivers, Country Crock has partnered with Wounded Warrior Project, an organization established to raise awareness and provide air for injured service members. As part of the alliance, Country Crock has committed $100,000 to the non-profit organization. In addition, Country Crock has created a specially marked tub that will be on the shelves through the end of August and its my goal to get you all involved as well.





Now here's the exciting part...Country Crock has customized a patriotic kit, just in time for all your summer festivities. And I have a kit to giveaway to 1 lucky reader.




The kit includes an eco-friendly tote bag, a picnic blanket, sturdy plastic plates with utensils, corn on the cob holders, a patriotic cup, an American Flag, a cute "corn pen", and last but not least a specially marked tub of Country Crock to enjoy. That's almost everything you need to enjoy a great family picnic.




So what do you need to do to win? Its pretty simple. Please leave a comment here and receive 1 entry. You can feel discuss the Wounded Warrior Project and the wonderful work that they do for our service members and their families. Or you can feel free to leave your favorite summer recipe that can be enjoyed at your next family outing.



Do you want more entries....If you tweet this blog post, please include @mrsjetplane and receive 2 (that's 2) additional entries.



Also, I highly recommend visiting http://www.countrycrock.com/ and making a donation to Wounded Warrior Project. As the 4th of July rolls around, please take a moment to think about and thank those brave men and women that have fought, and continue to fight, for our country.



Enter NOW!!! I'll select 1 winner a week from today on Thursday, July 7th. (a day before my favorite fly boy's bday!)

What Deployment Looks Like Part 4

1. I was driving to Boise and on the other side of the highway was a huge group of motorcycle riders, probably 100 or more. They were sporting American and POW flags. I drove for about 5 minutes and kept seeing more and more in the line. And then the tears came...and came...and came.



2. Sometimes when I shower before I go to bed I use Mr. Jetplane's body wash. I like the smell on me when I fall asleep. It feels like he's almost there.




3. The other day, while on Skype, I had to run to the bathroom. Mr. Jetplane told me to put the camera on the dogs, even though they were past out on the ground sleeping. He loves getting to see them even if they have no clue what's going on.



4. I send Mr. Jetplane cards in care packages that are 'written' by the dogs. He might have gotten a Father's Day Card :)




5. This came in the mail this week. I purposely asked for it to be shipped in August. Oh well its early. I wish he'd make it home early too.




6. I have blown through the first 2 seasons of Dexter. Mr. started watching it over there so I want to watch and be able to discuss it with him as well. I have no idea why I haven't been watching it. Its totally awesome. Sadly, Season 3 and on aren't on Instant Que for Netflix. I have to wait till next week to start Season 3.

Maintainer...

Weighed in for my 2nd week in a round with Weight Watchers last night....


I didn't loose any weight which makes me a....



I didn't gain any so I guess that should make me happy...right?



Well in all honesty with a loss of 3.4 lbs last week I didn't think I'd do all that well this week in the weigh loss effort. At 5'2", 3.4lbs in a week is quite a lot for me. My body doesn't like to let go of the weight, especially not in a timely manner. Hopefully next week I can knock it out of the park. 1-2 lbs a week would make me a very happy girl.
